Producer Dil Raju is earning widespread appreciation across the Telugu film industry and among audiences for his honest revelations about long-standing manipulative practices within the business. In a rare moment of candor, Raju publicly admitted to previously engaging in tactics such as boosting inorganic YouTube views and using exaggerated box office numbers in film posters. More importantly, he pledged to abandon such practices moving forward, calling for greater transparency in the industry. His bold stance has resonated with many, positioning him as a voice for integrity in Telugu cinema.
As his upcoming production Thammudu, starring Nithiin, nears its theatrical release on July 4, Dil Raju and his team have been actively promoting the film across digital platforms. As part of the campaign, Raju and Nithiin participated in a heartfelt interview that looked back on their 22-year journey together—one that began with their breakout collaboration Dil in 2003. That film not only launched Nithiin’s career but also earned Raju the “Dil” prefix that has stuck ever since.
In the interview, Nithiin asked Raju to reflect on the highs and lows of their two-decade partnership. Raju responded with warmth and sincerity: “You’re technically my senior—you started a year before me,” he said with a smile. “You’ve faced challenges and bounced back stronger, which shows in your growth. But honestly, when I was making Dil with you and Arya with Allu Arjun, I believed both of you would rise to even greater stardom. You’ve certainly become a star, but I feel your potential hasn’t been fully realized yet.”
Nithiin, known for his grounded nature and sense of humor, took the feedback in stride, even joking about whether Thammudu could finally be the game-changer. Raju responded optimistically, stating that while Thammudu is likely to do well, it may not be the defining moment in Nithiin’s career. However, he expressed strong confidence in Yellamma—an upcoming film directed by Balagam’s Venu Yeldandi and also produced by Dil Raju—as a project that could mark a significant shift in Nithiin’s stardom.
Through his candid remarks on industry malpractices and his ongoing support for honest storytelling and emerging talent, Dil Raju continues to reinforce his reputation as one of Telugu cinema’s most respected and influential figures. His recent words not only reflect personal growth but also signal a larger cultural shift within the industry—toward accountability, sincerity, and long-term credibility.
